ANTHONY ANNOUNCES PLAN TO CREATE SCHOLARSHIP
|
A former professional football player now working as a fitness trainer, Anthony wanted to make a difference in the community and decided to team up with The 11-10-02 Foundation to do it. The organization -- which is 100% volunteer run -- is now in its 18th year. It has provided grants and scholarships for students with financial need throughout the country. A new fund led by Anthony was set up within The 11-10-02 Foundation. After making his own personal donation to the Fund, Anthony launched his efforts with the following note....

"Throughout my life and my playing days and my current career, I've been fortunate to have people who helped guide me and look out for my best interests. I want to pay it forward and help a young person now. To achieve that goal, I've established a scholarship fund with The 11-10-02 Foundation - and I would love to have you become part of this experience. To start the process, I've made a personal donation to the fund. If you want to join me, please make a donation ($10 & up) to The 11-10-02 Foundation. 100% of the donations earmarked to this Fund between now & August 15, 2016 will be used to fund a college scholarship for a student with financial need. In addition, The 11-10-02 Foundation is going to dollar-for-dollar match the first $1,000 we collectively donate (and that will go toward the scholarship, too). I appreciate the Foundation's support as I pursue this philanthropic goal, and I hope you will support my efforts as well."
